Based on new photo data about the islands - it represents an Autumn season, will work in other seasons too (summer=less barren), below are shots from high, medium and low levels:

Lord save me! I want this sim! Somebody help me before I become obsessed! btw, will it support dual core processors?

Textures are awesome, it looks great from high altitude, but I think mid and low altitudes lacks vegetation.

Is it final landscape layout? Will there be more trees and bushes?

More bushes, yes, lots more. We still need a final vegetation solution. About trees, the Falkland Islands and Patagonia region in Argentina are regions of tundra: "In physical geography, tundra is an area where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons. The term "tundra" comes from Kildin Sami tūndâr 'uplands, tundra, treeless mountain tract'. "

Looking good, guys! Keep it up!

Ripcord

Besides the low weather and short growing seasons, the eastern part of the Patagonia is heavily windy,making more difficult for something bigger than a bush to grow.

Lovely! You're certainly headed in the right direction there

Sounds great! I live far from Argentina, although I've read few books about South American countries, and I know about tundra landscape, but few more bushes would look good

This is definitely right direction. I love textures.

Thats just beautiful Dante

This is utterly amazing. Fantastic progress. Keep going!
